If your goldfish is not very active and lives in a small bowl or something similair it doesn't need much food at all, You could feed it 2-3 pellets or a small pinch of flakes per day. If your goldfish is in a tank at least 10 Gallons(40 liters) than you can feed it twice a day for about two minutes. Feed it slow enough that it gets the food without it sinking to the bottom.

How many times do you feed the goldfish a day?

It depends on the fish. For young goldfish feed them 2-3 times a day- they need the extra feeding because their small stomachs can only hold so much food at one time which can result in malnutrition. For adult goldfish feeding then 1-2 times a day is fine, and for elderly goldfish feed a goldfish formulated diet once a day and a treat of green peas everyday to every other day to help reduce the risk of becoming constipated.

How much water do you need for 3 goldfish?

For 2 fancy goldfish, you need at least a 40 gallon tank. This may sound like a lot, but considering their potential adult size, which is big, and the fact that they are very messy fish which produce a high amount of waste, 40 gallons for the 3 fish is a bare minimum.

How often do you feed Goldfish?

you should only feed it once a day unless it gets really huge (like mine did) and if it gets huge you should feed it atleast twice a day Goldfish should not be fed everyday, goldfish do not have stomaches and have a very poor digestive system....when they eat this means the food will just pass straight through and of course will leave its back end into the water. They are basically swiming around in their toilet. They may seem gutsy but they will eat and eat as much as you give them. This will then contaminate the water and may kill your fish. Goldfish can go 2 weeks without feeding.....so feeding them everyday is way to much, especially if the tank is small. Feed them every other day at the most.
